As the school’s first Director of Alumni Programs, I created programs to accomplish the dual goals of making alumni feel more valued and closely connected to the School, while optimizing alumni fundraising and outreach efforts. In this role, I managed a large database enhancement project to identify older alumni not yet in the computer system and thus created a more powerful tool for fundraising and development. I planned and executed a variety of large alumni events across the U.S. and was a primary contributor and editor of the Museum School News, the alumni magazine. In addition to working with alumni, I also worked with incoming students to identify and promote potential future leaders for the School’s alumni network.
